The revelation of God

“It is [a] temptation to consider religion as a human investment and, consequently, ‘negotiate’ with God, seeking one’s own interest. Instead, true religion entails accepting the revelation of a God who is Father and who cares for each of his creatures, even the smallest and most insignificant in the eyes of man.” — Pope Francis

Reflection: The Church is in the midst of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. What is your definition of religion? How, if at all, are you involved in the work of ecumenism? Have you ever been tempted to “negotiate” with God or the Church over a teaching that doesn’t fit perfectly with how you would like the world to be?
